Beyoncé Releases New Album ‘Renaissance’ As Singer Calls Out Leakers

This is Beyoncé’s first album in six years.

Beyoncé's seventh studio album has officially dropped, and she's thanking the Beyhive for waiting for the actual release date to listen to 'Renaissance,' after it was leaked online two days early.
 

'So, the album leaked, and you all actually waited until the proper release time so you all can enjoy it together,' she wrote in a note posted on her website. 'I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t thank y’all enough for your love and protection.'

This is Beyoncé’s first album in six years. On July 28, she announced the album is part of a three-act project that was recorded over three years during the COVID-19 pandemic.
